Presenting three short programs that introduce various aspects of Jesus' ministry for children, Jesus Stories' storyteller Doug Berky gets viewers comfy around the campfire while explaining that Jesus taught by telling stories called parables. Combining music, mime and masks in re-enactments whose fairy tale quality will appeal to youngsters, the lead-off segment "Jesus Teaches" looks at the parables of the "The Lost Coin" and "The Good Samaritan," followed by Berky's reflection on how important the parables were in showing God's love and illustrating how we should treat each other. The other two segments on the tape--"Jesus Cares" (which includes "Feeding the Five Thousand" and "The Woman Forgiven") and "Jesus Heals" (with "Blind Bartimaeus" and "Zacchaeus")--follow similar formats. Ably providing scriptural insights for young children, Jesus Stories is recommended. Aud: K, E. (J. Reed)
